I've always found the greater the motivation, the better the task. Why go fast when you didn't need to. Some of the times, there seemed like mind games were playing within the game.

In honor of the Giants' home opener today, I thought I would ask ChatGPT what would happen if...
Duane Kuiper gave Churchill's Dunkirk speech.
My fellow Giants fans, I have to tell you that the news from the National League West is very bad. We have suffered a series of defeats at the hands of the Dodgers, the Padres and even the Rockies. We have lost many of our best players to injuries and trades. We have been forced to retreat to the bottom of the standings, with little hope of recovery.
But we shall not give up. We shall not surrender. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in San Francisco, we shall fight on the road, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our orange and black, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this team or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our fans in other parts of the country and in other parts of the world, armed and guarded by the Bonds of friendship, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
That's it for now. Stay tuned for more Giants baseball. Right after this commercial break.

Jon Miller, the San Francisco Giants announcer, wrote the beginning of Anna Karenina.
"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. And boy, do we have an unhappy family here at AT&T Park tonight. The Giants are trailing by six runs in the bottom of the ninth, and their fans are heading for the exits. The only ones left are the die-hards and the masochists. And speaking of masochists, let's talk about Anna Karenina. She's a beautiful and aristocratic woman who has everything a person could want: a handsome husband, a lovely son, a lavish estate. But she's not satisfied. She falls in love with a dashing young officer named Vronsky, and decides to leave her family and run away with him. But things don't go as planned. Vronsky loses interest in her, society shuns her, and she becomes increasingly desperate and miserable. She ends up throwing herself under a train in one of the most tragic endings in literature. And that's how you write a classic novel, folks. And now to Mike Krukow for more analysis."

The Rockies will have a firm grasp on last place all year. The Giants have nothing to fear from the Rockies.
Red Sox having back to back sweeps, one lost (vs Pittsburg), one won (vs Detroit). I honestly am baffled.
By the end of the season the Rockies will be in firm control of last place. Currently, we are just a half game out of last place with a run differential of -15.
The Yankees are off to a fantastic start given the injuries they've had so far. And I'm seriously considering getting a Franchy Cordero jersey, a guy I first heard of last week.
I don't think I've ever seen a bigger fall from grace than Chris Sale. You could make an argument that he was at one point the best pitcher in the majors. Now, he's lucky he's cashed in on that contract or he'd be working at a taco shack on Boylston street.
I know good teams are supposed to beat up bad teams, but everyone the Rays have played so far will likely end in last place. Let's see what happens. It's a marathon, not a sprint.And yet are already 4 games back of TB
I'll say this, starting 8-4 when Clarke Schmidt is your #2 pitcher is very impressive.

I mean for god's sake, the red sox tried to sacrifice bunt when they were only down by 2 runs in the 9th. You better beat them if they're that dumb!
Bitter, party of one, your table is now ready!
Wow, the Rays are 12-0 with a run differential of +69! That is an amazing start, but baseball is a LONG season.
